In UAVs, extreme SWaP constraints require ultra-lightweight sensors without compromising data accuracy.

These platforms operate in GPS-limited or denied environments and depend on tight sensor fusion (IMU + GNSS + radar) for stable flight and accurate positioning.

HBK’s precision IMUs support flight stabilization, antenna alignment, and SLAM-based navigation for defense, surveying, or inspection use cases.
